I spoke to Sir Nicholas Wald, and he says that the evidence shows that the benefits do outweigh the risks, and that's what he said earlier.
A charming gesture.
If you will step into my... I will go and plaster your...
Hmm.
Pew, pew, Barney McGrew, tough but grub.
Hi, Wes.
Hi, Tim.
And yes, some think the government might end up paying a lot more than it bargained for.
The Guardian reported that the new university system might cost the taxpayer an extra billion pounds each year beyond what the government had anticipated, which starts to raise the question that it might even cost the taxpayer more than the current system.
At least that's what our listener Chris Bissell reckons.
Well, it would be, but it may be a little too early to say.
As each university announces how much it will be charging next year, we will get a better picture of how much this might cost.
At the time the new fee structure was announced, the business secretary, Vince Cable, said that the £9,000 fee would be the exception.
But as universities have announced what they're going to charge, this looks less likely of the...
39 that have declared so far, 27 have set the maximum fee.
So it's no wonder The Guardian says it's going to cost a billion pounds a year more than expected.
But when this was put to David Willetts on BBC One's politics show, he said this.
So when we think about these fees, we need to think about the average fees per student, not per university.
So if David Willits is right, then some large universities will charge low fees and bring down the average.
OK, well, fine, but he gave just a couple of examples, so is there enough information out there to find out whether those examples are actually typical?
